In 1962, KSO air personality and program director Dick Vance from Des Moines, Iowa recorded a 45 RPM record on Sor-Va records with the sides "Sharon oh Sharon / Nuthin, Man Nuthin " this 45 was promoted on KSO and it was charted locally in december 1962.
A side "Sharon oh Sharon " is an oriented doo wop sound and for me it deserves to be present in the doo-wop guides.
This song of Marsha Lynn and The Episodes with Gaylon Christie' Downbeats "(Listen To Me) I Am Your Heart" recorded for the Waco, Texas label Bid records in 1962 not is in any guide of doo wop, but I think it is a good candidate to be present, as it has a very good doo wop oriented sound.
